本書作者Margot Katz是英國最成功的生意天才之一，生於南非的她，曾橫跨五大洲為全球知名的企業工作過，像是CISCO、可口可樂、蘇格蘭皇家銀行和豐田汽車等。因她的中間名是「珍」（Jane），故本書透過她的親身經歷，提出了每位女性職場人想問的：「『珍』（可以被取代的任一女性名字）要如何當上成功的領導人呢？」、「泰山是否能夠得心應手地在現代社會裡恣意搖擺活動？」對每個人來說，要如何在工作上和生活上達到平衡呢？

在書中，作者根據自己多年身為全球大企業的海外董事和顧問的資源和經驗，陳述出我們每個人需要如何去調整自己的作風，不僅是在工作上，就連生活上也是一樣。

為了讓讀者更確切明白，作者跟據四個朝向成功的關鍵性戰略：投射出價值、保持在遊戲的最前面、表達出個人的獨特形象和建立戰略性的人際網絡，提出了實用的執行之道。這是一本充滿娛樂性和易理解性的指南，清楚解釋在現今講究合作的商場叢林裡，我們究竟需要什麼才能達到成功。
